Yeah...that's why I chose not to go the "academic route." From what I've observed, a lot of the teachers are crap. A lot of students I know at many universitites have been taught to stay regimented in one place and the end with "scene." As an intern, I was able to sit on a number of professional auditions and sadly a few of them also ended with "scene." I don't get it.

I totally get it. In Michigan there has been a lot of conflicts with various artisitic directors getting fired lately. Actors want to be loyal to a number of them around here, but we have to go where the work is. It makes it hard to stay loyal sometimes!

Hey Paul. I just found some scribbling in my copy of your book. Can I just take it to B&N for a clean copy or do I have to contact Random House?

It's pretty amazing how many people don't take this business seriously. And when I tell people I want to work in theater, people say things like, "Oh, so you planning on moving to New York or LA?" It's like, no people. Theater is a real business. Just because you want to work in the business does not mean you have to move to a huge city. There... Read More's regional theater everywhere and a lot of successful, working actors you don't necessrily hear about who are doing just fine. It's very frustrating - especially because my parents have this mentality.

Hey Paul...just read your blog about bitch-slapping actors. Such foolishness also exists in Lansing. I've actually found that community theater people are often more serious than the so-called professional actors around here because they're doing it for the love of the art and not simply trying to get rich or famous.
